Bitcoin rose about 2.5% versus the daily open and aimed for $88,000 on Friday after the Bank of Japan lifted its policy rate to around 0.75%, a three-decade high. Arthur Hayes argued negative real rates could push USD/JPY toward 200, while Temple 8 Research said further hikes may be off the table to protect the yen and manage stimulus costs.

Into Sunday's weekly close, Bitcoin hovered around $90,000 after days in a narrow range, with traders looking for a decisive move as volatility sits at extreme lows. Possible paths include a dip toward 73.7K–76.5K or a break above 94.6K toward 100K, while some see potential downside extending to the $50K region.

On Friday, Bitcoin hovered around $92,000 after touching $95,500 the prior day, with $94,000 in focus as a key resistance.
